I decided to get myself a present for Christmas. After much mental flirtation with replacing our existing family PC with a Dell, to save a couple bucks, I ultimately decided to go with the 20" 2.4 GHz iMac. I submitted my order through the Apple online store just moments ago, no buyer's remorse yet.Ultimately, it needed to be done. The ol' PowerBook G4 has been showing its age under the hood. New apps were slow, other apps not supported on a G4 PPC chipset, the screen was small (12 inches). So this just felt good.
My wife and two kids use the family computer a lot, so they're set in their ways. Switching over to a Dell might have gotten me killed. The schools use OS X for computer studies at the boys' elementary school, so the transition to home-use is seamless.
It's also nice to just use the thing and not worry about drivers, DLL's, security, viruses, all the stuff that we worry about at work. So its a good choice for the family. No regrets.
Wow, come to think of it, 2007 has been a total technology year:
- the HD PVR cable terminal
- the LCD HDTV
- the iMac
- iPod Touch
- a new DV camcorder
- a new digital camera
- XBox 360
Sheesh! What's going to be the theme for 2008?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You will truly enjoy.
and... thanks to you.. I'm watching a 42" Aquos!
how about you get that sex change you've always wanted in 2008?
Oops. I think you got your people mixed up. This was eric that wanted that procedure, and I don't think he wanted that to be let known. He wanted that kept under wraps.
His trips to Cuba were officially for "vacation" and not cheap medical procedures.
Gerry, are you doing anything after your sex change? Maybe we could go for coffee or maybe a movie?
Hands off Gerry (soon to be Geraldine) buddy, he's (she's) all mine!
